How do you feel about the full body scan x-ray as implemented in Heathrow, the US, and soon-to-be Sydney?

Personally, I find it very intrusive if not given the choice on whether or not this is used on you.
I think that many people are just willingly deferring their civil liberties and dignity at the face of 'terrorism'. I'm not saying safety is not important, because it is, but I think that this is an extremely costly over-reaction in the current climate of fear.
